Abstract Target-drone is an unmanned remotely controlled aerial vehicle and usually used for shooting training for anti-aircraft screws. Traditional target-drones have been generally manufactured from aluminum and/or wood. Recently, composite materials have been replacing them in virtue of their high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. In particular, glass fiber-based composite materials are popular for the target-drone level vehicles because of the material cost and fabrication convenience.
In this paper, as a part of the development activities for a complete target-drone vehicle, the stress analysis results are presented for a 685cc engine target-drone composite aerial vehicle wing. Composite materials… More >
